Wales - Vaping indoors concerns

03 Feb
2016

At a recent meeting of the Welsh Assembly's Health and Social Care Committee, the difference in impact and harm of e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes was discussed. The Health Minister (Mark Drakeford) argued that ‘vaping’ was different to smoking and the proposed ban on vaping should not apply to public houses which are wet led and where children have to be accompanied by an adult.

This would require a definition of "wet led" and there will be counter arguments for a complete ban on the same terms as cigarettes but an interesting point. We will update on any developments as the debate develops.

Law correct at the date of publication.
